Commercial Representation
Company setup and commercial representation in Morocco
Company setup and commercial representation in Morocco cover everything a foreign company needs to operate locally: choosing between an SARL, an SA, a branch or a liaison office, registering through the Regional Investment Centre, opening a bank account, meeting compliance requirements, and then representing the company in front of clients, partners and authorities.

Setting up in Morocco is straightforward when you know the path, and slow when you do not. The choice of legal form, the order of the steps and the documents each administration expects all affect how fast you can start trading.
We handle the whole process with trusted notaries, accountants and lawyers, then act as your dedicated presence in the country. Some clients keep us as their representative for years; others use us until their own team is in place.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best legal form for a foreign company in Morocco?
The SARL (limited liability company) is the most common choice for subsidiaries, as it is flexible and can be wholly owned by a foreign company. An SA suits larger projects. A branch extends the parent company directly, and a liaison office is limited to non-commercial activity such as promotion and market research.
How long does it take to register a company in Morocco?
Once the documents are ready, registration through the Regional Investment Centre can be completed in a matter of weeks. The longest steps are usually gathering and legalising the parent company's documents and opening the bank account.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Morocco?
Yes, in most sectors. Some activities, such as certain regulated professions or the ownership of agricultural land, have specific restrictions. We check your activity before you start.
Can you represent my company without a local subsidiary?
Yes. We can act as your commercial representative in Morocco while you test the market, and help you set up a company when the time is right.
